The 27-year-old hooker (inset), tipped to keep the captaincy throughout this series, gets his initial opportunity as Caelan Doris, returning from injury, is on the bench.

And Jack Crowley gets the key out-half role, the Munster star beating Sam Prendergast in the race to start the first international of the season at no10.
